I think you should include something about the Live Track 3.0. That is a feature unique to only Project CARS 2 that no other game has to offer.
 
I've seen this kind of thread before... ;)

Here's a few for Business Model:
  • [] Have an Open Beta prior to the release of the game, on all platforms.
  • [] Release a playable demo prior to the release of the game, on all platforms.
 
  • [x] Allow the host of a lobby to add weight and reduce power to the cars based on previous success.
I'm nearly sure BoP (ballast and air restrictions at least) will be in...
 
I really hope with the custom championships mode (since you can hand-pick your opponents' cars), you can even name them and individually adjust their difficulty level.

[:ouch:] Class lights on cars. E.g. GTE
do you mean yellow headlights for GTE Cars?

No. I mean the lights on the side of a GTE car showing class position.

Really damn they went fa into this. However it is one of those FINALLY moments because this game would be great with a proper multiclass system.

Agreed. And the user creativity aspect would make for some enjoyable racing.

Hopefully it's used more in career like Regional GT series which run GT3 and GT4.
 
I just saw the release date is now official, so I was reading into pcar2...

"Mid race saves intended for Endurance Races."

No, seriously?? Un****ing believable. Only asked for around 10,000 times in pcars 1.

Nice first post. Yes, it has been requested about 10k times. As has many other things including an Offline Championship but there are reasons why they are not included. I'm pretty sure they were discussed recently on this or the official Project CARS forum but SMS have their reasons whether you agree with the outcome or not.

Thank you :D I just find this extremely irritating. No online seat swapping, and no on track save, something pretty much every other racing game has. So running the 24 Hours of Le Mans will require a relief tube and a 12 pack of energy drinks I guess. I'm not gonna lie, I'll buy the game anyways.

And a question: will the game support VR SLI?

Online seat swapping is coming in a post-release patch based on last information.
